Blacula (1972)

Released at the height of the blaxploitation era, Blacula is about an African prince who is morphed into a vampire by Dracula. On a rampage, Blacula is sticking it to the man, horror movie-style. In retrospect, the film is ridiculously campy but garnered a cult following and won Best Horror Film at the Saturn Awards. Several other blaxploitation horror films followed Blacula, like Sugar Hill, The Zebra Killer and Fight for Your Life.
